تنہائی شب میں ہے حزیں کیاانجم نہیں تیرے ہم نشیں کیا!

Tanhai-e-Shab Mein Hai Hazeen KyaAnjum Nahin Tere Hum-Nasheen Kya?

Why are you sad in the night's loneliness?Are not the stars your close associates?

یہ رفعت آسمان خاموشخوابیدہ زمیں، جہان خاموش

Ye Riffat-e-Asman-e-KhamoshKhawabidah Zameen, Jahan-e-Khamosh

This elegant dignity of the silent skyThis sleeping earth, this silent world

یہ چاند، یہ دشت و در، یہ کہسارفطرت ہے تمام نسترن زار

Ye Chand, Ye Dasht-o-Dar, Ye KuhsarFitrat Hai Tamam Nasteran Zaar

This moon, wilderness, environment, mountains,Nature is a prolific garden of white roses

موتی خوش رنگ، پیارے پیارےیعنی ترے آنسوئوں کے تارے

Moti Khush Rang, Pyare PyareTani Tere Aansuon Ke Tare

The colorful pearls, are variegate and beautifulSeem to be the stars of your tears

کس شے کی تجھے ہوس ہے اے دل!قدرت تری ہم نفس ہے اے دل!

Kis Shay Ki Tujhe Hawas Hai Ae Dil !Qudrat Teri Hum-Nafas Hai Ae Dil !

What do you desire so inordinately, O Heart!Nature is in concord with you, O Heart!
